Stress - deal with it or do away with it?

Stress and stress-related disorders are one of the most common problems in our society. Is this any wonder, considering the state of our economy, the meltdown on wall street, the recent loss of people's jobs, homes, and worse, maybe even of hope. The level of fear, uncertainty, and pessimism may be at an all-time high. It is estimated that 5-10 million people in the U.S. suffer from moderate to severe anxiety and anxiety-related disorders (e.g., anxiety attacks, generalized anxiety disorder, panic attacks, phobic disorders). It is difficult to imagine what that number likely is for milder forms of anxiety under the present circumstances. And even milder forms can result in a myriad of symptoms (e.g., loss of sleep, apprehension, inability to relax, racing heart, rumination, fatigue, and many others). The negative affect that these symptoms can have on our job functioning, relationships, and overall happiness is nearly impossible to imagine.

Experts in the field often suggest that we should make stress work for us, since it is impossible to live a stress-free life. Nearly everyone is worried about providing for their families, keeping food on the table, paying for the mortgage and the high price of gas. And this has now been complicated by the recent financial crisis that our country is currently in. Likely no one is all that confident that they will still have a job in the next several months. Who knows what to expect next? This is definitely going to be trying times for all of us.

Therefore I decided to start a blog on living life in a healthy manner, coping with the stress of our times, and finding ways to reduce or eliminate our psychological stress, worries and depression. I thus hope to provide a helpful service to my fellow citizens and do some marketing at the same time. I have recently come across a very interesting resource for the elimination of moderate to severe anxiety and panic attacks. For anyone suffering from these issues, please refer to this resource:
